Aaron Anderson-- Part 6: His Life

Aaron Anderson was born in North Carolina and enlisted at the age of 52 (quite old for an enlisted man).  he lived in Philadelphia before and after the war.  But, the name confusion (Anderson or Sanderson) has made it difficult to track him in history.

He might have returned to Philadelphia and lived and worked in South Philadelphia as a laborer, cook, white washer and coachman.  Records show he died in January 1881.

The talk will be given February 24 from 10 to noon  "Kitchen Table Stories: Aaro Anderson, African-American Civil War Hero and Medal of Honor Recipient."
